Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The original price of the sweater is $25.00 \$25.00 .
2. The sweater is on sale for 40%40 \% off the original price.
3. Rita has a coupon for an additional 10%10 \% off the sale price.
4. The calculations are done before taxes.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the sale price of the sweater after the 40%40 \% discount.
2. Calculate the final price Rita will pay after applying the additional 10%10 \% discount.

STEP 3

Calculate the amount of the 40%40 \% discount on the original price.
Discount Amount=0.40×25.00 \text{Discount Amount} = 0.40 \times 25.00

STEP 4

Evaluate the expression to find the discount amount.
Discount Amount=0.40×25.00=10.00 \text{Discount Amount} = 0.40 \times 25.00 = 10.00

STEP 5

Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price of the sweater.
Sale Price=25.0010.00=15.00 \text{Sale Price} = 25.00 - 10.00 = 15.00

STEP 6

Confirm the sale price of the sweater.
The sale price is $15.00 \$15.00 .

STEP 7

Calculate the amount of the additional 10%10 \% discount on the sale price.
Additional Discount Amount=0.10×15.00 \text{Additional Discount Amount} = 0.10 \times 15.00

STEP 8

Evaluate the expression to find the additional discount amount.
Additional Discount Amount=0.10×15.00=1.50 \text{Additional Discount Amount} = 0.10 \times 15.00 = 1.50

STEP 9

Subtract the additional discount amount from the sale price to find the final price Rita will pay.
Final Price=15.001.50=13.50 \text{Final Price} = 15.00 - 1.50 = 13.50

STEP 10

Confirm the final price Rita will pay for the sweater before taxes.
Rita will pay $13.50 \$13.50 before taxes.
